FAQ
On February 21, 2023, the NLRB issued a decision stating that the language of typical Confidentiality Clauses and Non-disparagement Clauses are illegal because they infringe on an employee's right to organize (form a union) or help other employees organize.
Non-waivable claims: Certain claims, such as workers' compensation and unemployment insurance claims, cannot be waived by the employee. No prevailing party and attorney's fees: Ensure that the agreement does not include provisions that would allow either party to claim attorney's fees if legal disputes arise.
A severance clause is a contractual provision that establishes an employee's right to receive a severance payment when his or her employment with an employer is severed. In many cases, the clause addresses circumstances in which an employer terminates an employee's employment.
A severance package is not legally required by federal or state law in the United States, and employers are not required to provide severance packages in most circumstances.
Is a Letter of Termination Required? For the most part, the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) doesn't require organizations to provide letters of termination. The exceptions are when employees are part of a union, a collective bargaining agreement, or certain mass layoffs or corporate closures.
Unless you have a contract with your employer for a specified length of service, either you or your employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason at all, with the exception of illegal discrimination. This is frequently called "Employment-at-Will."
In Georgia, most workers are usually regarded as employees "at will." This means that the employee works at the will of the employer and the employer can fire the worker at any time, for any reason (just about), and without any notice.
In ance with the Employment Security Law, OCGA Section 34-8-190(c) and Rules pursuant thereto, a Separation Notice must be completed for each worker who leaves your employment, regardless of the reason for the separation.
Rule 300-2-7-. 06 Notices Required From Employers Furnishing Separation Information. Employers are required to complete Form DOL-800, "Separation Notice", for each worker separated regardless of the reason for separation (except when mass separation Form DOL-402 and Form DOL-402A notices are filed).
The employee must receive a fixed wage, regardless of the number of hours worked. The employee's salary should be at least $844 weekly or $43,888 yearly. In addition, the salary cutoff for highly compensated employees was raised from $100,000 to $107,432 per year.
